Is it right to kill Satan's hit man? Would it help God's work? This
installment in the Left Behind series picks up with Rayford
Steele--"believer" and international fugitive--as he struggles with a
plan to assassinate Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. Meanwhile, Carpathia
has been busy rebuilding roads, airports, and a cellular/solar satellite
phone system--all designed to help him become supreme ruler of the
world--and even claim himself to be God. We also find ace reporter Buck
Williams anonymously preaching to the masses of believers and converts
through his cyberspace magazine The Truth. All the believers in the safe
house, including Buck, Doc, Chloe, and Tsion, are suspicious of
Hattie--former mistress of Carpathia--who claims to be a believer but
may have already compromised their secret location when she tried to buy
her way to Europe months before.
Fans of the series won't be disappointed. Jenkins's signature writing is
at full force. Readers can count on a suspenseful plot, imaginative
futuristic thinking, and familiar characters, all of which appear in the
opening pages and are sustained until the last cliffhanger scene when
God unleashes another earth-shattering disaster.
